I don't understand this law. My mother worked for the government USA for more than 30 years. Retired. She would be on the phone with OPM and I well just wasn't paying attention. I did hear her say windfall a CSR. My mother was married to my dad until she passed away in 2016. so I am trying to understand this new law I have googled it. I don't understand it. Can anyone please help me understand it. Like maybe like if I was in middle school. Is this law good or bad for my father. My father was a carpenter who took jobs from any one.then joined the carpenters Union in Houston TX. I know for a fact that they both paid taxes and everything was straight. My mother was a Mailman/ mail lady delivering mail on foot.before getting her USA IRS job. Then she went to the federal department of Commerce and retired from there they gave her a certificate of 30+ years of work it was sad to see her crying almost every day. I was just curious when I asked her if she wanted me to talk to her boss no threats just explain to me why is she crying? Basically the director didn't last long they fired him. My mother knew about the dep commerce in and outs. She spent so much time with her coworkers and learned about the export business.might I add that she had to answer a phone that was for spy's to call that agency and she had to go and call another agency and tell them so and so was in trouble overseas in another country and I assumed needed to leave the country they were at rapid.. She didn't want to answer the phone because she had 4 kids. Nobody wanted to pick up the phone when it rang. She I assume got security level bump up to do that.She didn't receive any pay raise for the hazardous material. Sorry I got off task it's my first post. She died my dad is alive today still and she made more money than my dad he is 69 so I have no idea what s all this windfall a CSR then the fairness act. He receives ss and a tiny pension less than 350 and the widow benefits not all of course. I am confused about somethings like is he supposed to get the higher amount my mother had can someone explain SS. This is the kind of question who some one who went to community college and UTA. I only know about information technology Network administrating what I went into and they never told us anything about that kind of stuff if it's too long you can delete this post I just don't know how to put it in words. Remember someone who is in high school cuz I don't understand it at all. Thank you for letting me post.
